Need ideas for re-making my RK into an Old School beauty

My perfect bike would be my RK that looks like a 93 Springer. I know I can't do the springer but I want the overall look of one and I'm afraid I don't have the eye to do it.
Please float your ideas.....cause I'm running dry.

Swap out the front forks & nacelle for a springer front end & headlight?

Here you go. Just add a springer front end. And some metal fenders, solo seat, whitewalls, spokes, and white bicycle grips. And find some old tank and fender emblems.

I like the red and white, but the turquoise and white was also very sharp.

Old School look

My kast bike was a RK that I allso old schooled. A 50's-60's paint job is great but expensive. Cheapest thing is a solo seat and some beach bars.

Check out the Sticky "Turn a Classic into a Classic" in the touring section. You will see plenty of awesome "Old School" customization pics of others that had the same idea as you.

Good Luck and Have Fun!
